Invisalign rubber bands open bite.
My orthodontist originally told me i might to wear elastics half way through but then i don t see any hooks on all of my trays so i wonder if i still need to wear rubber band later on.

And can they still add rubber bands so far into the treatment.
I really want to know because i really want my bite to.

Invisalign is presented as an easy alternative to traditional braces but getting started isn t as seamless as you might hope.
This makes me even more hesitant to take out my invisalign.
Correcting openbite by elastics or rubber bands in orthodontic treatment.
In an overbite the row of top teeth hangs too far over the bottom row of teeth.

Yes this means that invisalign wearers sometimes have to wear rubber bands with their aligners.
This means 20 out of 24 of my.
In the past elastics were used for braces.
